round to hold the smartcard when
inserting it into the reader.

5.2 How the Card Terminal works

5.2.1 Model RS 6700/Single Core
The integrated smartcard terminal was
developed in compliance with the PC/SC
(Personal Computer Smart Card
Workgroup – http://www.pcscworkgroup.
com) specification, meaning that it is
ideal for developers who want to produce
smartcard-based PC applications. Using
the appropriate driver or IFD (Interface
Device) handler, the card terminal can be
integrated with the PC's operating system.
You will find the associated drivers for
the different operating systems either on
the data carrier included with the prod-
uct, or the latest versions on our web
site in the Internet at:
http://support.cherry.de
The Plug & Play function incorporated in
the operating system is supported by the
optional enclosed "Installation Disk". To
install the driver, follow the instructions
displayed on the screen on booting.
The product is listed by Microsoft in the
Windows Hardware Compatibility List
(WHQL) as "Smart Card Keyboard".
